Marantz HD-DAC1
It will be an interesting comparaison with my Chord Qutest and Liquid Platinum amp. I know it's not in same price range but I could be pleasantly surprised. Qutest and Clear can be fatiguing on long listening. Also I just wished the Marantz had proper rca inputs...- FredQc

Alternatives to the Emotiva Stealth DC-1
Would the DC-1 be an upgrade when compared to the Jotunheim DAC ? I sometimes found it a bit harshe and cold with my HD-650. The price tag at my local distributor is $650 CAD +tx. What do you think ? Edit: I've been experiencing with the ACL1150 from my computer and I think I prefer this to...- FredQc

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Hello, Jot community! I am really enjoying my Jot+DAC since April and now I found it sounds even better with JRiver 23 compared to foobar2000. I was using foobar2000 with WASAPI drivers and I was hearing "clicks" when playing music in EVENT mode. PUSH mode did not have the clicks but sounded...- FredQc

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Hi again! Still love my Jotty and I use it much everywhere in the house :dt880smile: Now, let's say I play a file in FLAC 24/96 in Foobar2000, how can I be sure that it's been sent in this very format to the Jotty ? Because there's no light or indicator about this. Thanks :beerchug:- FredQc

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Finally received the Jot! What a great piece of equipment! It drives my HD-650 like a champ with a really realistic sound. What an upgrade from the internal amp of my motherboard... Also tested as a preamp / dac combination in-between my MacBook Air and Emotiva XPA-2 amp. The results: silky...- FredQc

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
My Schiit was shipped the same day I ordered. Took 3 days to reach Montreal, which is pretty impressive. But now, well... it's been 7 days since my Jot is waiting for being cleared at the Customs in Montreal. I understand we're on holidays, but come on...- FredQc

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
I got the HD-650 for $489 CAD tree weeks ago. That's the lowest price I've found on the Internet, for a brand new, "Canadian" pair. I must say I'm really satisfied with my purchase Audio heaven Edit: Well, there was a quote from someone in there but for some reason it's not working- FredQc
